Beijing, November 6 /Xinhua/ — A constantly developing and growing China is not the source of the problems facing Europe; on the contrary, it is a partner capable of helping to solve them. This was stated on Friday by the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, during a meeting in Beijing with Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern.
As Xi Jinping emphasized, China and Europe should focus on the aspect of cooperation, adhere to resolving trade and economic tensions through dialogue and consultations, and strive for mutually beneficial outcomes and joint development.

He stated that China is ready to jointly expand practical cooperation with Austria in emerging areas such as new energy source vehicles, artificial intelligence, digital economy, and green development, in order to create new driving forces for economic and trade growth.
Pointing out that the China-Austria friendship enjoys broad public support, Xi Jinping called on both sides to increase cultural and humanitarian exchanges, facilitate people-to-people interactions, and promote the rapprochement of the peoples of the two countries.
